Blue Ridge Mountain Sky - Marshall Tucker Band (studio) + the Toy Caldwell Band, live, 1989 or 1991

The song was written and sung (in the studio) by Toy Caldwell, MTB's lead guitarist and chief songwriter, though Doug Gray usually sang it live. The rare YouTube video for a live performance of the Toy Caldwell Band -- with an amazing guitar solo -- at a club didn't have a date and apparently has the city wrong. The club is named there as Al's Pump House in Atlanta, and as far as I could tell checking Google, there was no such club in Atlanta, but Toy Caldwell and his band did play at Al's Pumphouse in Greenville SC in both 1989 and 1991, according to Setlist.fm (and an article written by someone who knew the band mentioned a benefit concert there for Toy's wife and children after his death).
